BBC music magazine2014 MayafafBarry Witherden2014 May"Glass provides singers and orchestra with some of his most tuneful writing ... the instrumentalists play with precision and affective authority".

The work lacks the element of surprise, although Portland Opera under Anne Manson deliver a satisfactory performance overall".
